Can someone explain this logic to me?

Rivrrat

My wife and I were cleaning up our bedroom. I had two kitchen style garbage bags, one was kind of full, and one was not. I go to throw them away and she says I can't go yet because the one bag wasn't full. So, she takes the two bags away from me, put the fullish one in the not so full one and tells me it's full now and I can take it to the garbage can.

Am I missing something?

Simple. It's called female logic. DON'T try to understand it otherwise it'll burn your eyebrows off or worse yet, make you bald.

It's like the lecture you get when using a pot that's too large or cooking more than one food in a pot. :rolleyes:

Don't even try. The children's bicycle rodeo was this weekend and we take our little guy and his friend. My wife says that we have to put the two bikes in the trunk. I tell they will not fit. She insists that they will. Her logic, did you try. Mine, no I do not need to as I can tell just by looking. 30 minutes she gives up. Sometimes I just wonder. The two bikes did not fit in the trunk. Go with the flow.

Makes perfect sense to me!

"Female logic", that's a oxymoron...

dudeinaroom

Well, my wife can explain it to you, but I still don't think any of us will get it. I'll tell you what it really is. It is there way of controlling us, yeah, I said it. They are taught from a very young age to control us. Do not fall into the trap....oh, what's that... yes dear, I'm coming..........

garbage bags OCD.

She was trying to save space in the can.

YOU should have known to take the not so full bag & dump it into the almost full bag thereby making 1 full bag!:rolleyes: :eek:

If the full bag was full, how was there room for the not-so-full bag's contents ANYWAY?

If you give me a full glass of water and a half-full glass of water, and tell me to consolidate them, someone's getting wet.

There is no way to win in this situation, just agree. Do not close Disney Land, no more Magic Mountains.

Trying to understand female logic is like both a bad idea and impossible.

I passed this by my Mom, the worlds expert on how to do things. She didn't necessarily see anything wrong with the concept but did state 'why didn't she dump the contents of the less full bag into the larger one and save the bag?'

My question would be, why do you need 1 1/2 garbage bags to clean up your bedroom?:eek:

mrbigbluelight

Lowes sells 3-mil garbage bags; you can stuff the snot out of them, stomp the trash down to compact it, and add some more.

......for those that are into trash bags.

Don't you have a garbage can in your master bath? We're not talking big green garbage can liners here, it's small kitchen bags.:mad:

one bag was the almost full garbage can, the not so full bag was my daughter's snack mess from the tv/ sitting area.

I didn't realize we had Martha Stewart posting here.

I feel your pain. So the other day I notice the fountain I installed in the yard is not level any more. It is a big pot that sits on a tub that is buried up to its rim. The ground has settled a bit on one side, and that is causing the other side to come up about a 1/2" or so. I figured the solution would be to pull out the tub and scrape away some dirt from the high side, and the whole thing would be level again. Seems logical. My wife, who wanted to do the project because I was installing crown moulding in the kitchen, took it all apart and started filling in the lower side to make it level. I came out to see how things were going and told her that if she did it that way the whole rim of the tub would be above the ground and would look bad, that dirt needed to be taken out of the hole instead. After telling me that I never appreciate the things she does the fountain is still in pieces in my backyard. Guess who gets to do it now.

The real question here is; should I have let her do it her way and see if she fixed it herself, or been even smarter and said "that looks great hon" and fixed it in the middle of the night in a ninja outfit?

Sounds similier to my wife must be in the water up here.

It's obvious with me, that your water isn't level up there... :rolleyes: but I think the ninja outfit trick would have been pretty slick

I'm sorry if my post offended you, I didn't mean to. I just got a picture of 2 large garbage bags filled with stuff.

Definitely the second option. Anytime you can wear your ninja outfit, you should.

No worries, I knew what you were picturing. It'll take a lot more than that to offend me.

The two big garbage bags will be the clothes in the walk in closet I take to Goodwill that my wife thinks she'll wear again someday. :rolleyes:
